Connecting & celebrating people across cultures, geographies, and generations through music, song, stories, dance, and sharing of cultural traditions together in one of BC’s most beautiful parks.
Come for the music, stay for the friendships – find your folk!
What you can expect at the festival:
three nights & two days of music and dance

five stages with concerts, dances, workshops, and jams
